At Arthur Murray Dance Studios in the evenings after high school.
We worked in a room that had a dozen phones, opened a phone book, ripped out a page, and started calling all the names on that page.
We'd offer them a free dance lesson.
I got paid 50cents an hour and received a 25cent bonus for anyone who actually came in for the lesson.
We had to use a fake name (mine was Ginger....too obvious I think now but back then I thought I was so clever.....you know from dancers Ginger Rogers and Fred Astair) and there was a script we HAD to follow tacked on the wall in front of us.
It was horrible. I could repeat that script in my sleep.
I don't think I ever had anyone show up for a lesson but I got 3 proposals because of my "sexy" voice.....lol.
